Guest Ned Fengus Guests Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 The Rizzuto HOF one is great - especially when he says something like - "the ball hit the bat, it was a line drive and I got 199 after that", but c'mon. 150 times each day? The Nathan's guy is a good one too. Recollecting his days as a 12-year old die-hard MFY fan - Mantle's heady play, etc. But 200 times a day?Variety is the spice of lifeOm the other hand - I am thankful that WFAN decided to stream.
Guest Yancy Street Gang Guests Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Take it from a former listener: the world is a brighter place when you don't listen to WFAN.
Guest Johnny Dickshot Guests Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Yes. Listen to the Cars' second album instead. No commercials!
Guest Ned Fengus Guests Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 ="Yancy Street Gang"]Take it from a former listener: the world is a brighter place when you don't listen to WFAN.I hear you Y, but since I already gave up television about 5 years ago, I'm hesitant to go totally media-less. Maybe some day.
Guest Yancy Street Gang Guests Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 There are other radio stations.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 FWIW, virtually ALL radio stations endlessly beat there ads into the ground. I talked to a guy who sold radio ad-time a bunch of years back and he said that the concept of 'repetition' was essentially gospel in the biz.
Guest Ned Fengus Guests Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 And I listen to others. Wfan is part of the mix.
HahnSolo Old-Timey Member Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Do you listen to the FAN online? Because the online stream has different sponsors, I believe. And not many of them. That's why you hear the "greatest sports moments" ad infinitum.While we're on the subject, and I do listen to their online stream wayyy too often, I can't stand two of those "greatest sports moment" commercials.First, I hate the guy who brings up Mantle in the 1960 series. Typical MFY fan, taking a great alltime moment and making it about the Yankees. And, you're team has won 26 World Series, and the best moment you can come up with is Mickey breaking up a double play?And the other one is the guy doing the Rizzuto impersonation. It's just not that good of an impression. It's well-written, just not executed well.
